The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board recently announced the referee and judging assignments for the upcoming UFC 169: Barão vs. Faber event slated to take place at the Prudential Center on Feb. 1 in Newark.

The main event is a rematch between Renan Barão and Urijah Faber. Barão won the initial match-up, which netted him the interim UFC bantamweight championship. He was originally slated to face bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz at UFC 169, but Cruz again withdrew due to injury and gave up his belt after having been sidelined for more than two years. The UFC immediately designated Barão the undisputed UFC bantamweight champion.

Highly respected referee Herb Dean drew the assignment for the main event title fight between Barão and Faber. Judges for the bout are Ricardo Almeida, Eric Colon, and Cardo Urso.

The co-main event is another title fight. It features featherweight champion Jose Aldo putting his belt on the line against Ricardo Lamas. Keith Peterson will referee the fight with Almeida, Colon, and Urso again set as the judges for the bout.
